HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 c487W
Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the change in the war situation in the Pacific, he will ask the Australian Government if they will now permit the Jewish internees who are friendly aliens to be released for work in Australia, seeing that, were shipping space available, they would be working here?

Mr. H. Morrison

As I have explained on several occasions, this is a matter within the discretion of the Australian Government and I regret that I am unable to accept my right hon. Friend's suggestion.
